LOCATION
“Middle Earth” or “Terra di Mezzo” (Middle Earth). This expression defines the vast territory which, starting from the main watershed, reaches the Ligurian Alps. Val Bormida and Val Tanaro are the two main valleys that characterize this vast area. Endless woods, streams, rivers, small towns characterize these places, mostly unknown to mass tourism.
This tour is for mountain bike enthusiasts who appreciate less crowded places, more relaxed rhythms of riding. It will be a day when great attention will be paid also to the charm of this land and the silence of the forest.
TYPOLOGY OF ROUTES
The trails are medium-easy routes with a slope of about 400 m and a length ranging from 2 to 4 km. The bottom of the natural terrain, shores and artificial supports in some sections ensure the flow of the path.
WEATHER CONDITIONS
During or after rain the complexity of the tour changes radically, exponentially increasing the difficulty because of slick trails.
BEST SEASON
We can’t guarantee the tour from the middle of November to the end of March due to weather conditions and leaves on the trails. If some trails of those tours are not open, the guide will do a mixed backcountry tour.
